A Reducing Full Face Spacer is a precision-machined thermoplastic flange spacer designed to connect flanges of different pipe sizes while providing complete flange-face coverage. It enables a smooth diameter transition while maintaining proper bolt alignment, gasket support, and sealing integrity in lined-pipe systems.
Overview
SG-P manufactures Reducing Full Face Spacers to exact lined-pipe flange specifications, ensuring accurate alignment, chemical resistance, and reliable long-term performance in corrosive and non-metallic piping applications.
What Is a Reducing Full Face Spacer Used For?
Reducing Full Face Spacers are used in piping systems that require a transition between unequal pipe diameters while preserving full flange-face contact. The full-face design enhances gasket compression and load distribution, making it ideal for applications where sealing performance is critical.
Typical uses include:
- Transitioning between different pipe sizes
- Maintaining full flange-face gasket coverage
- System retrofits and piping modifications
- Correcting size mismatches between connected lines
- Lined-pipe systems requiring corrosion resistance
Applications and Industries
- Chemical & Petrochemical Processing: diameter transitions in corrosive process lines
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: system upgrades and piping adjustments
- Power Generation & Utilities: retrofit and maintenance applications
- Pharmaceutical & Bioprocessing: sanitary system modifications
- Marine & Offshore Systems: corrosion-resistant piping transitions
Thermoplastic Material Options
- Polypropylene (PP): Cost-effective, lightweight, and chemically resistant
- PTFE (Teflon®): Exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals and high temperatures
- PVDF (Kynar®): Flame-resistant, UV-stable, and suitable for harsh environments
All spacers are manufactured to lined-pipe flange dimensions and available in standard and custom size combinations.
